Brainspotting reaches your subcortical brain, below your prefrontal cortex, to release stored trauma. This means that you don’t have to analyze your trauma in order to heal. Similar to psychedelic therapy, Brainspotting helps you tap into the part of your brain that is beyond your defense mechanisms. You will connect to emotions and parts of self that have been harder to access. You will release and resolve stuck stress while gaining deeper insight and perspectives.

You don’t need to verbalize because this is a somatic process accessed through your eye position. We can sit for periods of time in sacred silence. Telling your trauma story is not a requirement.

Therapists “follow the tail of the comet” which means that I trust you to lead the process. You will have spontaneous emotions, memories and sensations surface as your body releases them to achieve homeostasis. It is optional to add biolateral music and nature sounds to support you in staying focused.

It is ideal for clients who:

have felt stuck on an issue

don’t want to talk about it

prefer a flexible and intuitive approach

want to process trauma more quickly

prefer meditation with a side of magic
